The first episode to air on the newly launched 2-hour block The Disney Afternoon, incidentally on the day the block premiered as well.
Saddened by his rejection by some of the Rescue Rangers early in the episode, Zipper goes to drown his sorrows at a "fruit bar" called the Barfly. A barfly is a nickname for a frequent bar customer. The flies in the Barfly bar are eating fruit instead of drinking, but act "drunk" from the fruit. A bouncer even threw a fly out and made the comment that some people cannot handle their fruit. Several parents voiced complaints about the allusions to alcohol and bar culture depicted in this episode.
Final series appearance of writer Dev Ross.
